present the same to the authorities ofthc

will be largely signed, which will
he presented to the Legislature,
praying for such legislation as is
necessary to insure good roads throughout
Jefferson county. Tine Committee on
Manufacturing will attend To everything
that will tend To increase the industries Of
this vicinity, and we would just suggest tn
them that it would not he out Of place tn
look after any manufactures already here,
that are considering the ~adviSability OF re-
moving to some other place. 1t is of i'm
portance that We retain what We already
have as we'll "a acquire new ones. Citizens
generally should bear in mind that every
thing must not rest on these committees,
hut one and all should bear q hand in the
good work.
The outlook now is that Steubenville

ell. This is rs it should he. 1t is n step
in the right direction and shows that we at
least have a dispenSatiOn to keep pace with
other Ohio towns of like degree.
